Polymerization Processes and Polymer Materials II

by I. Meisel (Editor), Z. Florjanczyk

The World Polymer Congresses are highlights in the calendars of polymer scientists. In July 2000, the 38th International Symposium on Macromolecules (sponsored by IUPAC) was held in Warsaw, attended by 1 500 participants from 54 countries. The program covered all areas of macromolecular chemistry---from various kinds of polymer synthesis to theory and modeling of polymer systems; from polymer properties and characterization to industrial processing. All types of polymers (e.g., crystalline, branched, blends, composites and biorelated) were discussed, and industrial and educational perspectives were explored. Volumes 174 and 175 of Macromolecular Symposia present almost all the Invited and Plenary Lectures from the Congress and represent an excellent overview of the current state of macromolecular science.
